Swimming in the ocean she smelt something extremely delicious. Immediately she started swimming for it. She pulled her self up the dock rope. The crew of the ship, being hyperactive did not notice her head straight for the kitchen. A boy was sitting in front of the grill waiting impatiently for the meat the blond cook was fixing. She took a seat beside of him to also drool over... some type of pink bird she couldn't seem to identify and takoyaki?!

The cook was pulling something out of the oven. The boy took the opportunity to try and snatch some meat. The cook turned to stop him and then noticed, her his eye turned into a heart, what a bizarre sight.

"AHHHH, Pretty Lady! Would you like a drink?"

"What sort of drink?, I'm more interested in the yummy smelling food though," She smiled. "Anything that would please you! 3"

"Two cups, not glass, of apple juice and meat before he eats it all would be splendid."

The cook yelled at the boy for stuffing his face, then fixed her a plate and gave her two cups of apple juice not even asking about the strange request. She began eating, at first rather sloppily and then switched to a more civilized approach when she remembered she wasn't home.

"This food is even more wonderful than what our cooks make."

"Sanji's cooking is the best!" said the boy with a mouth full.

As she continued eating some noises came from the contraption on her back and and a being crawled out and situated himself on his mom's lap and took some takoyaki off the plate. He also drank the freshly made apple juice. The little boy then decided to grab the meat that was furthest away, as he did so a flame came up.

The mom grabbed him "WATER!" The cook grabbed a wet washcloth and handed it to her she pressed it to his arm.

"That was stupid." said Luffy turning to look at them with the last piece of meat.

"He's stupid, he didn't even get the piece..." said the child that had quietly placed herself beside her mom.

"Where are these brats coming from" said the cook.

"Me." the women replied

"Are anymore going to appear, my sweet?" Sanji said a bit more suavely.

She smiled. "Nope only Ace and Jolie, Ah yes I have yet to introduce myself, sorry. I'm Noir." Robin stepped in distracting Sanji for some coffee. Meanwhile Luffy was looking at at the little boy.

"You look like... me!" Luffy proclaimed.

"No I don't!" Ace retorted stubbornly.

"Yeah, ya do." Jolie responded mostly just to disagree with her twin brother. Noir looked intently at Luffy trying figure out where she had seen that face before...

"I have FRECKLES AND YOU LOOK LIKE A BLACK HAIRED RAGGETY ANDY DOLL!" said Ace defensively.

"But we have reddish black hair..." stated Jolie blatantly.

Their Mom reached out and grabbed Luffy's face with both hands to stretch it out.

"Luffy!" She reached out and embraced him, "I'm so happy to meet you! I've heard so much about you... My- err- Commander Ace talked about you a lot...!"

"You knew Ace!?" Luffy cheerfully.

"Yep, he enjoyed talking about his time living on land and being brothers. I'm a Shirohige pirate just like your brother, I joined much younger than him though."

"Where are the other Shirohige guys?"

"Right now our ship is docked near yours, someone will probably come looking for me soon but I often take my kids for swims. Some of the Shirohige pirates went there own ways after Captain died but we still... exist as the Shirohige Pirates."

Sanji was cooking more delicious food again occupying Luffy and Noir's attentions. More of the Mugiwara pirates began to congregate in the room. Ace and Jolie already knew enough about Commander Ace and Captain. The people arriving seemed far more interesting. Jolie went over to Robin to see what she was reading and if she could get some coffee without her mother's permission. Ace saw a fascinating invention Usopp had and ran over to him wanting to know how it worked.

"Do the others have devil fruit powers? Is that why that guy looks like a refrigerator? And that guy looks like a skeleton? And that one looks like a Reindeer?" Jolie asked Robin.

"The guy you think looks like a refrigerator I believe is Franky he's a cyborg. Luffy, Chopper the Reindeer, Brook the Skeleton and I are the only devil fruit users on the ship."

"What can you do?"

Robin smiled and attached two arms to the shoulders of Jolie.

Meanwhile Franky and Usopp let Ace hold the invention and he began to test it out, small puffs of fire came out. Jolie noticed this and realizing what would invariably happen jumped away from Robin towards Ace as he clicked a switch he wasn't supposed to resulting in a flaming Ace. Nami went in to action using Shower Tempo. Ace bit back tears as Chopper looked over him. His mom ran over to him with a re-dampened washcloth.

"It didn't hurt one bit!" said Ace tearfully and then his crying increased as Chopper gently put some medicinal cremes on the burns, that really stung. Now Ace was sobbing and shaking trying to get away from the reindeer.

"I promise it will stop stinging soon just try and rel-" Jolie interrupted Chopper, "SHUT UP! How long're you gonna keep crying! I hate you, you're such a crybaby!"

Ace sucked his lip and tried to stop crying, he calmed down though making it easier for Chopper. Jolie continued to glare at her brother, opened her mouth to say something and then a snot bubble came out her nose and her head cocked to the side, simultaneously Ace did the same. "They're like Zoro, falling asleep where ever!" Usopp said watching.

"They have narcolepsy like their old man." Noir said.

"Their dad is 'Fire Fist' Ace?" stated Robin, grabbing Luffy's attention,

"Ace is their pops?"

"That secret is safe here isn't?" Noir said uncertainly, no one other than the Shirohige Pirates knew who Ace and Jolie's old man was. But this was Ace's little brother's ship so Ace and Jolie should be safe.

"Of course," stated Nami, "We can keep secrets." Though Nami looked irresolute at Luffy. "Portgas D. Ace is Jolie and Ace's dad." Noir said this merrily.
